LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Aug. 9, 2024) – Twenty-eight EAST Initiative programs from across Arkansas earned the Program of Influence Level 1 distinction for work during the 2023-2024 school year.

EAST Program of Influence is a recognition for programs that acknowledges engagement and best practices that can be shared with school officials and partners in their communities, said Troy DeBill, Program Coordinator for Facilitator Services. DeBill said that 54 percent of programs received the POI distinction at one of two levels during the 23-24 school year. Only 24 percent of programs qualified for POI during the previous school year.
